Mrs. Jos. Rossner, of West Newton,
met with painful and probably fatal
accident, while driving home from their
farm, Thursday. Through a jar of the
wagon she was precipitated to the
ground, the heavily laden wagen crush
ing her upper jaw and severely injur-
ing the skull. One of the wheels also
passed over her left leg, literally tear.

| Thursday evening the council con-
tracted with w. S. Coon. representing
the La France Steam Fire Engine Com
pany of Elmira N. Y. for steam fire
engine, hose cart and 500 feet of hose
The consideration was $4,000 and the
old apparatus. The apparatus pur-
chased is said to be the best of that
class. With fire pressure it will throw
a stream equal to 10000 gallons an hour.
Mr.. Coon states that he can instruct
four or five members of the department
so that they can operate the engine
without any trouble and that it will not
be necessary for the the department to
have an expert with the engine. Mr..
Coon acknowledged that there might be
shortage OF water here to supply his
machine, but he thinks that by building
a sufficient number, of cisterns, anc
keeping them filled at all times, or still
better, if the city should build system
of water works, there would be no trou,
BILE on that score. Mr.. Coon has also
decided that our police force should at
tend to the engine and see that the ap-
paratus is in working order at all times
AS the police have nothing to do at the
present time, this would furnish them
employment and keep them out of mis-
chief and as we have to pay them
whether they are employed or not il
will not entail any additional expense
upon the city. Mr.. Coon says that by
regulating the pressure there would be
no trouble in using the hose now owned
by the department. During our con.
yersation with Mr.. Coon we became
more and more convinced that our OBJ.
i jections to a steamer were not valid and
\ when the gentleman assured us that the
apparatus presented fine appearance
was richly plated and painted an6
would attract a good deal Of attention
in a street parade or tournament, The
last vestige Of opposition was banishei
and we came to the conclusion that i
| had been very wrong and foolish for u
to object to the city's purchasing ;
steamer. We are very sorry for th'
course which we have taken in thi
matter and beg the pardon of all thos.
whom we have offended by our efusions
We can assure them that our opposition
was not caused by spite or persona
feeling but simply through Ignorance
